When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 222

Ethan kept a straight face. Even after the match, Ethan kept a straight face and was barely sweating.

He pulled Matthew up and said, "Mr. Frye, you shouldn't sit down right after intense exercise. You should move around."

"I know, I know. I'm just exhausted."

Matthew was really exhausted.

Now that he was getting older, he could handle some light exercise. But squash was too demanding for him.

He had to push himself to the limits all the time. Keeping up for this long depleted his energy.

Even so, he loved the sport. He let out a sigh. "I'll go get some water."

Ethan watched him leave. Then, he held the ball in his hand, threw it against the wall, and started playing on his own.

After two rounds, the door behind him opened. Josephine stepped into the court.

"Were you going easy on Mr. Frye just now?"

Ethan caught the ball that bounced at him and smiled. "Do you expect me to crush him instead?"

"No, I just wanted to tell you this. When you play against me, don't hold back."

She didn't want to hear him giving excuses for not playing at full strength when she won.

Back then, Yvan had done that before, ruining her victory.

Ethan stared at her. "You want me to go all out? I'm worried you might suffer."

She replied seriously, "No way! I'm not that weak. If you don't play properly, that's insulting.

"If you're that good, play at your highest level. Beat me square and fair."

"Alright. If that's what you want."

Ethan didn't know what he was thinking. He thought she was just being playful and talking trash before the match.

"I'll beat you fair and square."

Josephine's competitive spirit lit up. "You certainly look confident. What happens if you end up losing?"
